1076 The Pain of Wings Being Broken
“Then are your companions as powerful as you?”
Yu Huang told Naris, “My husband, Sheng Xiao, has the most powerful cultivation level among us. He is a Grand Master, and our other friends are Supreme Masters.”
“Impressive.”
Naris, who lived on Five Lake Street all year round, rarely saw a Beast Tamer, so when her family suddenly received a few powerful Beast Tamers, Naris felt nervous.
Previously, Yu Huang had said that she would think of a way to help fix her disfigurement. Naris didn’t have high hopes for this, but after knowing how powerful they were, she finally had hope.
If only her disfigurement could be healed and she could become a normal person.
Regardless of whether this matter was possible or not, Yu Huang’s intention was worthy of Naris’ gratitude.
However, as a commoner, Naris didn’t have anything good to repay her with.
After a moment of silence, Naris told Yu Huang, “I don’t go out often. Other than making perfume, I only know how to cook. If you miss the delicious food in your hometown, you can tell me how your hometown’s dishes are made. I’ll think of a way to create the taste you miss.”
After saying that, Naris winked at Yu Huang playfully and said mysteriously, “I’m actually the most famous online blogger on the internet.”
Through the internet, no one could see each other. Therefore, Naris, who always dressed like a goth, wore an exquisite lace mask, and cooked beautiful and delicious food, became the number one food streamer on the internet.
Yu Huang didn’t expect Naris to be a food blogger, but she hurriedly smiled and agreed.
Naris and Yu Huang hit it off.
In the tavern.
Sheng Xiao saw that it was time, so he put down his glass and stood up. “I’ll go have a drink with Yu Huang.”
Yin Rong and the others were busy playing drinking games with the other guests. They waved at Sheng Xiao and continued playing games.
Sheng Xiao went to the bar and asked the owner for a few bottles of canned ale. Then, he pushed open the back door and walked out.
When the cold wind blew on him, his already aloof countenance looked even more arrogant.
After Sheng Xiao walked to the small courtyard with light footsteps, he saw Yu Huang chatting with an unfamiliar woman in a black dress under the roof.
When she listened to the girl’s words, Yu Huang maintained a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the smile on Yu Huang’s lips, he knew that she had found the answer she wanted.
He looked up at the sky and saw a few planets that were emitting a lustrous light like jade plates.
They all looked like the moon.
When the moon was full, people reunited.
Naris was the first to notice Sheng Xiao. She pulled Yu Huang’s sleeve and reminded her softly, “Yu Huang, your husband is here.” Then, Naris patted the dust off the corner of her dress and stood up quickly.
She nodded at Sheng Xiao as a greeting before returning to her room.
Sheng Xiao nodded at her.
Sheng Xiao waited until Naris closed the door before walking to the middle of the courtyard with the wine.
When Yu Huang looked at him, Sheng Xiao no longer seemed as cocky as before.
Sheng Xiao swirled the wine in his hand as he said to Yu Huang with a smile, “Tonight’s moonlight is very beautiful. You’ll probably want to drink some wine.”
Tonight was indeed worth celebrating.
Yu Huang agreed happily. Then, she walked over and took the canned wine from Sheng Xiao. She pointed at the empty chair on the rooftop as she said, “Let’s go up.”
“It’s a little cold.” The nighttime temperature in the Central Continent was more than ten degrees colder than that of Ascension Town. Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, they sat under the moonlight and drank ice wine. They were more or less crazy.
Yu Huang smiled and replied, “My heart is warm.”
Seeing that she was really happy, Sheng Xiao agreed. “Alright, let’s go to the rooftop.”
Naris opened a window and stared at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s backs as they walked towards the stairs on the rooftop. She frowned slightly. She felt that this scene was familiar.
Naris dismissed the feeling as an illusion.
She closed the window and stared at the mirror for a long time before hesitantly taking off her lace mask.
Naris had not dared to look in the mirror for a long time.
The last time she looked in the mirror was three years ago, when the kid was so frightened that he fell sick.
Without the cover of the lace mask, Naris’ face was completely revealed in the mirror. She unbuttoned her dress again, took off her clothes, and stood naked in front of the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was petite, but her figure was very outstanding.
Her shoulders were straight, and her breasts was the right size. Her slender waist was slim, and her slender legs were very straight. Her figure could be said to be perfect, but this perfectly proportioned body was covered in dense ice-blue scales.
The scales extended from her thighs to under her nose. They were stacked on top of each other, so it was impossible to see Naris’ original skin color.
There was a pair of blue wings on Naris’ back. It was unknown what wings it was.
The reason Naris wore a robe was to block these strange wings.
Naris could no longer remember what the wings originally looked like. In order to hide her disfigurement, she would personally cut off the tip of the wings with a large knife every once in a while. Only then could the wings be completely hidden under her coat.
As long as the wings were not spread, no one would notice.
Even if they knew that there was something hidden under her cloak, they wouldn’t realize that it was wings.
The last time she trimmed her wings was last year.
These wings grew very quickly, as if they had vitality. Every time Naris cut them off, they would grow quickly.
Naris stroked the ice-blue scales on her neck and chest. Her fingers slowly moved up and finally landed on the nostrils without a nose. As soon as Naris touched those nostrils, she suddenly lowered her hand, as if she was frightened.
Monster!
Naris suddenly opened a drawer.
There was a rectangular wooden box in that drawer. Naris opened the lid and stared at the long knife in the box.
This knife was a weapon used by Naris to cut off her wings.
It was very sharp.
Every time she cut off the tip of her wings, it was as painful as cutting out her heart. After a year, Naris still remembered that painful feeling and was terrified.
However, when she looked up at the pair of strange wings on her back in the mirror, she immediately made up her mind.
Naris grabbed the towel on the table and bit it in her mouth. Then, she quickly pulled out her knife, closed her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and swung it behind her without hesitation.
The sharp blade cut through iron like mud and cut off the wings with one slash.
“Ouch!”
Naris immediately frowned in pain. Then, she put down the knife and held the table weakly with both hands. She gritted her teeth and trembled in pain. Even the skin on her forehead turned pale.
Naris took a moment to recover before holding the long knife again and swinging it shakily at the other wing.
Fresh blood fell to the ground and blended with the fragrance in the room.
After the faint floral fragrance was neutralized by the blood, it actually released an aura that made one feel at ease and addicted, as if…
It smelled like the scent of a guardian.
Naris laid on the floor weakly as she sniffed the fragrance in the room and frowned. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Please, don’t grow any longer, okay…”
